Expand Yourself Into Balance
Have you ever wondered how to walk gracefully with a Figure 8 or how to dive deep into a Balancing Step without shaking?
This class is about using the concept of counter direction for finding balance in your dance. Counter Direction is a tool from many different dance styles that helps us to find stability and balance by training our imagination.
We will do fun exercises from Dance Theatre and Contemporary Dance, a short Warm-up that focuses on Counter Directions and finally transfer everything to slow steps that tend to challenge our balance like Balancing Step.
